lyrics

Standing on the street all day.
I've been standing in the driving rain.
Watching all the dizzy feet
Walking up the busy street

And I swear, if I had my way
I'd tear it all down and start again,
'Cause I'm clean out of things to say,
But I'd rather it was now than then.

The crows line the station gate
Where the horses stand forgotten.
I was going to sit and wait
But the trains don't come that often.
I won't take another step
On this path you chose to follow.
I'll stay here another night
But I'm leaving you tomorrow.

Sitting on the platform edge -
I've been sitting on the window ledge
Looking at the cloudy sky.
Just watching all the clouds go by,

And I swear, this time it's gone too far -
It used to be fun, not anymore.
I've had enough - I want to raise the bar
A little bit above the floor.

The crows line the station gate
Where the horses stand forgotten.
The trees stand so desolate,
And the fruit they bear is rotten.
You're making me suffocate -
What you need you have to borrow.
I'll stay 'cause it's getting late,
But I'm leaving you tomorrow.
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow.

about

Gronk London, UK

Gronk writes commercial pop-rock songs with an unhealthy dose of gallows humour, and instrumental chillout music for the cheesy cocktail bars in his mind. Gronk is happy to be lonely and his music is ideal if you are an astronaut in winter.
